I have talked to her a couple times. The first conversation was pretty emotional. She *seems* like she's doing well, but of course it's hard to tell over the phone. She was able to go home for a bit this weekend and now she's back at the hospital. Not sure how much longer she'll be there.
I'm really worried about my mom. She's trying to act like everything is OK, which of course it's not. She's alone up there. I know that she's just trying to not have me worry, but I only worry more. I hate that I'm so far away.
My mom just booked flights for them to visit in 2 1/2 weeks. I can't wait to see them!
Thank you for all the thoughts/prayers.

I'm sorry Steph. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is on your family. I hope you have a nice family visit.
I'm glad to hear that you sister is doing somewhat better.
Tell your mom what you told us. That her pretending to be fine so you don't get stressed only stresses you out more.
If you sister needs some help getting settled in the area, I know I'm older and a total stranger to her, but my work is only 30-40 minutes out of Georgetown and I've got some friends in the city, we can try and help.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
I'll keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers but I'm glad to hear she is doing a little better.
It's so hard when you're younger to realize that things will get better. Just surround her with love.
that's a great idea.
when you're all together, you might want to suggest a group/family counseling session. certainly, your sister needs to talk about her feelings, but you and your mom need to discuss how this situation made you feel as well. maybe after getting all of that out in the open, you'll better know how to support/help each other.
I'm so sorry this is happening to your sister. I will continue to keep your family in my T&PS.
